Our favoruite Mapplethorpe book by far. The 1987 Japanese-published monograph includes an eclectic mix of Robert's work all packaged in this perfect purple cover. Its beautiful design has given it cult-like status as one of the most recognisable and sought-after books by one of the most influential talents in modern photography. Perfection. It also comes with the original and often lost/damaged cover ribbon.
